DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Signs you need bath repair in Wixams
Many chips happen while the bathroom is being fitted. Tradespeople drop tools and tiles into the bath, and the damage isn’t always spotted until later. We repair snagging damage like this regularly.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A chipped rim or side
- Scratches you can feel with a fingernail
- Damage beneath the taps
- Impact holes in acrylic
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wixams use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Other services in Wixams
Should you replace it?
A new bath brings a chain of other jobs: the tiles sitting on the rim tend to break, a new panel is often needed, and the plumbing has to be disconnected and refitted. A repair skips all of it. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Your questions about bath repair in Wixams
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo an old repair?
Yes. We remove the old filler and start again. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you cover Wixams?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Wixams. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a bath repair permanent?
Done properly, a repair lasts for years, and ours come with a one-year guarantee. Gentle cleaning helps.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- We clean, key and degrease the damage, and any rust is treated.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched to the surrounding surface.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What affects the price in Wixams
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
